The project is expected to cost around $4 million. As well as the State Government’s $2.3 million, the project has received $600,000 from Bass Coast Shire Council and $500,000 from the club. The club is expected to make up the shortfall.

It is anticipated the project will be completed in 2019.

Ms Shing said club members had saved many lives and it was only fitting they should have appropriate facilities.

New facilities needed: a $2.3 million funding boost from the State Government will help fund a new Cape Paterson Surf Life Saving Club room for lifesavers like, from left, Nicola, Tom and Jess Manns.

Ok , so now Wonthaggi SLSC is going to want the same funding. These clubs are within 1 kilometre of each other and work in together all the time. So why not just amalgamate. The public can’t be expected to endlessly fund such clubs (especially when they are dormant for 90% of the year). Woolamai SLSC cover Smiths beach, and it’s miles away! Also, I’d be checking those membership numbers for the Cape club, when your child does nippers you have to become a member, and nippers is very popular.
